The Herald feels that the charter
committee la to be congratulated on
the, results of Ua labor.-. It Is also to
be congiululated oft the (act that It
went at tbe matter in a calm, judicial
maimer and conaidored each and every
proposition on it* merit* and with a
vlrfw of adopting what seemed best for
all interests. The Herald baa not had
an opportunity of going over carefully
the charter as It now atands but it
feels very confident that it conforms
very closely to it# Ideas of what such
a charter should be. Just as soon as
it can be put in type It is tbe intention
of the Herald to publish it In order
. that all may have aa opportunity of
going over it at their leisure.
In this connection It seems to the
Herald that a mass meeting of tax-
payers to take this matter up is en-
tirely unnecessary. The charter has
been prepared by committees repre-
sentative of all interests and the dif-
ferent propositions have been agreed
nfwfi without a clash, even though
there has been some divergence of
' ideas.
The Herald would suggest that In-
, stead of having a mass meeting called
for the tedious work of going over the
whole charter that anyone who may
deslrf to offer lanything in the way of
an amendment^ to it be requested to
file same in wilting with Mayor Ken
nedy or with Colonel Decker, the
chairman of the joint committee, if
the suggestions outlined seem to be
good or to have the'backing of an
considerable number of citizens tbA
the joint committee be called together
to give them consideration nnd that
the party or parties making the sug
gestlons be allowed to appear before
the committee to advocate their ideas
In this way the vital points can be
covered fairly and anyone having any
suggestion for a change will be given
ItlT opportunity to present same for
consideration. This result could not
be obtained any better «t * ntass meet-
ing and tbe Submitting of such a doe-
imiest jto art' Indiscriminate mass meet-
ing plight have disastrous results for
semdKln^ei acting under the inspiration
of the moment men do things which
after^ober second thought they would
not do.
Tile Herald feela satisfied that tho
wtjfrk of the joint committee has been
ttforbuKhly and Carefully done und the
v: M that no member of those differ-
yfcnt committees has protested at any
/section would indicate ver.y strongly
/ that .the matter Is In excellent shape.

If Mr. Jerome continues to find men
who are his mental equals he may loso
some of his exalted Ideas of his own

There Is no time like the present to
do something lor Deulson. If you can-
not think of anything else to do build
a sidewalk.
One groat mistake Is being made
with many split-log drags that are he-
ing made and used in different sec
tlons of tho atate and that Is they aro
being made too heavy. They require
four mules to haul them and even then
It is hard to get over the road. Build
the drag as lightly as you can, put on
a good pair of mules or horse and do
your dragging after a heavy rain when
tho road Is in a puddled condition
That Is the way to get the best re*
suits and to encourago a continuation
of tho work and the building of other
drags.
to the city bill poster asking for rates
for bill posting. He also stated that
the road expected to uae bill boards
advertising their summer tourist rates
to Colorado. No doubt that method
will cost more than advertising
through the newspapers, especially
when the road can exchange mileage
for advertising.—Childress Index.
This Is the effect of tbe absurd law
forbidding rnllroada to exhange trans-
portation for advertising In the news-
papers. It not only (deprives the'news-
papers of a legitimate line of business
but. forces the railways to adopt an
(nferior method of advertising, For
all experience has demonstrated that
newspaper advertising while It costs
more, is the moBt effective kind.—
Athens Review.
Mr. (Itlsson will pay cash for those
big bills and he will pay cash for his
bill posting. There Is nothing In the
Hepburn bill which prevents his pay-
ing cash fot newspaper space and

space beats bill boards for results.
glous as the present epidemic of mea-
sles that Is sweeping the county. Let's
have good roads.—Wise County Mes-
senger. i
The way the people of the country
around Den 1 son are taking hold of this
proposition of building good roads Is
exceedingly gratifying.
Keeping everlastingly at it has
brought good roads and that makes
the Herald still more hopeful regard-
ing the paving of Main street.
Stale Press Is right In saying that
considerable has been accomplished in
getting the recognition for the Upper
Red River to which, the stream I* en-
titled, but the burden has not been
equitably borne by the people of the
Red River Valley notwithstanding tho
benefits that must accrue are as great
to one section as to another. There
has even been attempts at knocking
the whole proposition from Interests
that arc vitally at stake. There aro
yet papers in tho valley which deep
down In thoir hearts think the whole
thing a visionary scheme.

Here are a few remarks from the
Beaumont Journal that are pertinent
and timely. What the Journal says la
especially applicable to this great state
which has close to u half-million citi-
zens of legal voting age who have lost
their right of franchise for a year.
The world Is looking for men. Men
are the world's greatest, need. And
this Is the roundabout way In which
the world tries to find men. It Insists
upon certain institutions. But do these
Institutions make men? It Is always
dwelling on the need of education. But
what is education If Its. product be not
,manhood? It. Is asking for new laws.
Yet what arc laws if they do not pro-
duce good citizenship? It insists that
the measure of success is dollars. But
what Is tho making of a living as com-
pared with the making of a life?
Slowly, very'slowly, the world is be-
ginning to turn from things to indi-
viduals. Slowly, very slowly, It Is be-
ginning to put the man above the dol-
lar. It Is beginning to find what are
its true treasures. Why not make
men first? Because If you make men,
governments and Institutions and edu-
cation and laws will all eaBily fall Into
their proper places.

About tho hardest task anyone can
undertake Is to try to educate a man
or set of men to do those things which
will be for their own benefit. This Is
particularly true of the road question.
On tho face of things it would seem
that the people would respond readily
to any movement which had for Ita
purpose tho Improvement of the road
which they use constantly. As a mat-
ter of fact, however, they seem to have
an Indefinite Idea that it is somebody's
duty to make these roads for them.
It matters not what the method may
be of road Improvement it Is the peo-
ple themselves who have to foot tho
bills.—Denlson Herald.
Some people only learn ht', actual

that pood roads are never popular un-

the country would be a "whole lot"

The good roads problem deserves
attention, all right. But, since you
mentioned It, we believe our game of
politics has grown so "rotten" that It
need# a little purifying, and as we
believe, the people of Texas are broad-

they should at least keep an eye on
